My approach

My therapeutic approach is holistic employing Evidence Base intervention. Respecting your voice as the poet of your life experiences and the expert in sharing your story.

Assisting clients in discovering interpersonal strengths to mitigate and work through life changes one engagement at a time. As your therapist, guiding and assisting you in forming balance in work, family, and life is essentially.

My communication style

Making space for clients to process and connect is fundamental in developing therapist client relationship. Assisting clients in identifying their unique strengths within life’s domains to create awareness of joy, worries, triggers, reaction, stressors and more so outlet and hope.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was raised in a big family with 5 siblings. My grandmothers had a significant influence on my upbringing. She utilized her community in establishing soulful open communication in support the entire community. More so I learned that support is all ways a need and the response/delivery of that should by open. My parents was always present. However, I had a unwordable relationship with my Grandmother. Utilizing non-judgmental and sensitivity to client’s culture and beliefs. I specialize in therapeutic remodeling of disruptive family dynamics, anger, anxiety, depression, and generational meshing while fostering self-determination and self-worth. I apricate the clients that allowed me to develop my skills in my journey to becoming the therapist over 7 years. I continue to learn in this ever change to deliver client center therapy one client at a time.

My goals for you

I specialize in therapeutic remodeling of disruptive family dynamics, anger, anxiety, depression, and generational meshing while fostering self-determination and self-worth. Goal setting is a collaborative and client leading process.

My first session with you

This the beginning of client provider relationship. It where the client introduce and I will share by back ground and answer any questions the client have. It is an opportunity for the client and I to established How, When, and What the helping/therapy will be moving forward.
